AUS vs IND Match Prediction: 2nd ODI, Fantasy Tips, Playing 11, Pitch Report More – India Tour of Australia 2025 

AUS vs IND: It is time for the second ODI between Australia and India to take place. The action will be live from Adelaide Oval on Thursday starting at 9 AM IST. India lost the first game, and they will be looking to level the series. Here are the fantasy cricket tips and other details for this game.

Australia Preview 

Australia had a brilliant first game. Without some of their first-choice players, they managed to overpower India in both departments. The bowlers set the tone for them, and the batters did the rest. They will be looking to wrap up the series here with a win.

• Key Batters: Mitchell Marsh and Josh Philippe showed good form and will be the ones to watch out for.
• Captaincy: Captain Marsh has been in incredible form, and he showed it with the Man of the Match performance and played an important knock.
• Batting Strength: Travis Head failed in the first game, but that is how he plays. But Australian young batters like Renshaw and Philippe showed good temperament, and then Marsh scored runs at the top. They have some good all-rounders as well.
• Bowling Attack: Hazlewood and Starc make one of the best ODI opening pace duos in the world. Indians saw it in the first game. Then, they have some really good backup bowlers to play with.

India Preview 

The Indian team failed with the bat, and it wasn’t a good return for Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma as they would have liked. India will come hard this time around and will be looking to win the game and level the series. They have a good record at Adelaide Oval.

• Batting: The batting needs to step up. India have an inexperienced pace attack, and that is where they need the cushion of some extra runs. The top four batters failed in the first game, but they are expected to come back.
• Bowling: Arshdeep and Siraj did bowl well with the new ball. Harshit was the weak link, and then the spinners didn’t have much to defend. But Indian bowling will be like bowling in Adelaide, because it is slightly on the slower side.

Match Details – Australia vs India, 1st ODI

Adelaide Oval, Adelaide Pitch and Weather Report

Adelaide Oval has a drop-in pitch, and generally it is a great batting wicket. The size of the square boundaries is short, which makes it an ideal place for the power hitters. However, more than fast bowlers, it is likely to assist the spinners more because of the slowness of the wicket. So, it is a good venue for Chase.

There are chances of passing showers on Thursday afternoon in Adelaide. The temperature should be around 16-18°C with humidity more than 60 percent.
